Something may have gone wrong with the install.
Have you tried re-installing it ?

Good Job again Paddy!!!!! You really save our butts alot in here.
I also read somewhere about changing the exe. file name?
Supposedly changing the file name did something that i do not understand.
Anyway It got my game going before my triple head. And with my triplehead I made sure the shortcut led to that same exe. to start the game.
I am sorry for the poor explanation, but for others it may lead them in a direction to look for a solution.
Geesh i wish I could say I know what Iam talking about, but I really dont...lol
8)
Here is a copy of what I had to do. Maybe it was just for F.E.A.R. Extraction point only??
I cannot remember where I got it, and would love to give credit for the person that shared it.
And yes I edited this in.
Maybe someone can use this? This game is TOTALLY awsome in TH2GO.

No prob...
This is assumign you have the FEAR Extraction Point icon on yer desktop (and you should, unless you moved it or deleted it).
Right-click on the icon -> hit "Find Target". This will bring up the directory where the program is installed. Look for 'FEARXP.EXE' (you might not see the '.EXE' part if you don't have explorer set to show all file extensions. I guess you'd see a 'FEARXP' application if you don't see the extensions).
Right-click on the FEARXP.EXE -> Rename. Change it to anything you want, but make sure it ends in .EXE. I used 'FEAR_ME_XP.EXE' just as an example; I'm sure the key thing is to switch away from 'FEARXP.EXE'.
Now go back to the shortcut property window. In the Target: box, change the target program from ' launcher.exe' to ' FEAR_ME_XP.EXE' (or whatever you actually called it).
Or make a shortcut directly to the FEAR_ME_XP.exe and launch that instead of using the launcher.

Thank you ... :D

I'm not sure why you would have to rename the .exe ... it is not necessary.


But if you have it working ... great ... that's what matters ... :lol:
